When is the Best Time for Air Duct Deep Cleaning?

Have you noticed little bits of fuzz and grime building up on your air vents? Do wisps of dust make an appearance every time you adjust your thermostat? While your filters are designed to collect fine particles and dust, seeing these particles fly out of your vents is not normal. Maybe you only need a filter replacement, or perhaps, it’s time to deep clean your ducts. At Dust Doctors, we know how important it is to maintain good air quality in your home, and we’ve developed unique tools and systems designed to get the job done right. To help you determine when it’s time to call the Twin Cities’ professionals for ductwork deep cleaning, we’ve put together this short guide.

If your ducts haven’t had a good cleaning in more than five years, it’s time to call in the professionals. While there’s no hard-and-fast rule stating you must clean your ducts at regular intervals, most professionals recommend a thorough cleaning every three to five years. In Minnesota, we live in a temperature-controlled environment for much of the year; winters are frigid, and summers are stifling. As such, we tend to use our heating and cooling systems extensively. To make sure you’re not inadvertently circulating dust and allergens into the air you breathe, we can deep clean your ducts if they’re overdue for a scouring.

If you just purchased your home, it’s a good idea to make sure your new HVAC system is as clean as possible. You simply don’t know if the previous tenants kept a clean house, which means you may be exposing yourself to leftover dust, dander, and mold. Ideally, you should call in our air duct cleaning services prior to your move-in date. Our high-powered, rotary brush cleaning service implements a variety of techniques to ensure your ductwork is completely free of harmful particles.

If you’re planning to overhaul your heating or cooling unit, you should also schedule a duct cleaning service. Generally, newer equipment is more powerful than your older equipment, and often, more power equals more dust particles flying around. As the new unit forces air through your ducts at accelerated speeds, it can loosen old, caked-on dust and circulate it throughout your home. A deep cleaning solves this issue by removing any traces of dust from years past.

When you need expert service at a fair price, Dust Doctors is your go-to choice. Over the years, we’ve developed our own proprietary systems and tool packages; no one else cleans ducts like we do. If you’re ready to improve the air quality in your home, we’re here to help you do it. To request a service quote or for any questions, contact our team at 651-319-9777.
